The funny thing is that if you talk to Russian immigrants and ask them about the collapse of communism they will tell you that it was a natural thing. Almost like the time was right for change sort of thing and that there was no stopping it.
Suggest to them (and I have believe me) that Reagan was somehow responsible, or even contributed and they will just laugh at you and your stupidity.
(I just had this convesation with a Russian emegre very recently infact.)
Reagan was a non factor to them.
